I Will Be The Crowned King

Chapter 14 The Land of Rest

Raging sea, HMS Crown, early morning.

In the brightly lit officer's dining room, Anson, who was sitting at the dining table, stared at the steaming hot coffee, holding a knife and fork in both hands, without saying a word.

Even with his head down, he could feel the young captain staring at him with a very "wonderful" look-although he was trying his best to hide it.

If possible, Anson generally doesn’t like to explain some meaningless issues, because the more explanations, the worse; but this time is different, the Cecil family is his very important partner, if possible, Anson actually wants to win over This young captain made him take the initiative to join his side.

Considering that the "persona" that he finally set up is likely to be destroyed by the excessive behavior of a certain eldest lady, Anson believes that it is still necessary to remedy it.

Anson twitched his throat and slowly raised his eyes; William on the opposite side was obviously watching his every move, and his body trembled violently.

So Anson took a deep breath: "Colonel William Cecil."

"Um?!"

The young captain had a huge reaction: "What... what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just thought we might have to talk."

"No! I understand... er... I think... nothing to talk about."

William began to play stupid.

Anson sighed:

"You may have misunderstood about Miss Talia before..."

"No...no misunderstanding! I mean...we all understand...really."

"No no no... You obviously misunderstood, the two of us... not what you imagined..."

"I understand—really, you don't need to hide anything, I understand; the traditions followed by many ancient giants, they...don't quite fit the...morality of the modern Clovis Kingdom."

"No, you don't understand."

"I understand how you feel, it's not something to be ashamed of; people who truly love each other only care about each other and don't need to think about...worldliness."

"...You really misunderstood."

"I assure you that the Royal Navy is definitely not a place full of prejudice, and we will never look at you in any strange way; although you can rest assured, we will never regard you as some kind of..."

"Scumbag?"

"That's right... no! We... definitely didn't think that way, really!"

"...I trust you, thank you."

"No, it's me who should thank you! Uh... Btw, you and Miss Talia are just engaged, you shouldn't have... er... I mean... ah! The Ring of Order is on, I'm thinking about it What... Forget it... I'm just talking nonsense... you... don't hear it."

"..."

Very good, this character seems to be completely bankrupt.

Seeing William Cecil's forcibly calm appearance, Anson sighed in his heart and forced a smile: "I'll go back to my room first."

Just when he got up and left, the young captain with a slightly red face suddenly shouted:

"Wait a moment!"

Stopping, An Sen looked back without changing his face:

"Please say?"

"Ah...it's nothing." William smiled unnaturally. "That's right. The kitchen told me that today's lunch will be later, and it might not start until twelve o'clock, so I'll let you know in advance."

"Or if you want, I can have lunch delivered to your room...outside? Rest assured, our crew respects each other's privacy very well and will never do something disgusting!"

"……thanks."

Resisting the urge to beat the other party, Anson turned and left the restaurant.

In the cabin, Talia sat in front of the window and looked at the endless sea, with a glass of water in her hand, her expression was very leisurely; on the bed beside Lisa, who was sleeping soundly, as if she was having a sweet dream related to food. - The saliva has dripped onto the pillow.

How to describe it... Well, the sense of sight is too strong, it is like a "happy" family traveling out.

"Anson, you're back." The smiling Talia turned around and got up:

"How was breakfast?"

"……OK How about you?"

"Just got up, the waves were so violent last night."

"How is Lisa?"

"Well, I haven't woken up yet... You know, children her age are more lethargic."

"Yes."

No, this sense of sight is getting stronger and stronger.

Glancing at the sleeping Lisa, Anson calmly locked the door with his backhand:

"Can we talk?"

"Of course." Talia got up and hung it on the coat rack behind the door, pouring another glass of Tirpitz rum, smiling sweetly:

"We can talk about anything anytime you want."

"After all... we are fiancées."

Anson's mouth twitched violently.

He can now be 100% sure that the appearance of the other party is definitely not a coincidence, but has been planned from the beginning.

"You seem to have misunderstood something, do you need any help from Talia?"

Presenting the wine glass to An Sen, the girl blinked her big, clear eyes.

"Then can I ask why this is?" An Sen, who took the wine glass, said calmly.

"Why... didn't Anson want Talia here?"

There was grievance in the girl's eyes.

"I definitely didn't mean that!" Anson decisively denied.

"Then why ask why?" Talia continued to ask.

"Because..." Anson hesitated.

The girl opened her eyes wide: "Because?"

"Because... I thought you would come back later." An Sen quickly put down his glass and looked at the girl with a sincere look:

"You know, to establish a power belonging to the Rune family in the colony requires a lot of preparatory work."

"And that's why Talia must come." The girl showed a warm smile:

"The situation in the new world is really too complicated. Anson alone can't deal with all the problems - more importantly, we are fiancées. Shouldn't we join hands with each other to face hardships together?"

"Of course it should, it should be!" Anson affirmed decisively.

Seeing Anson's sincere expression, Talia shook her head slightly, turned and walked to the window, looking at the calm turbulent sea.

"No... dear Anson, you still don't understand."

"Oh?"

Anson raised his eyebrows.

"In the initial stage, Talia did not have any idea of ​​interfering with Anson, and was ready to wait until the most suitable time to officially appear - showing up in advance might be able to use the identity of the Rune family to provide some convenience, but it would also intensify many conflicts. , creating more accidents."

The girl who turned her back to Anson said: "But it's very regrettable, the current situation has not allowed Talia to do this."

The current situation... Anson raised his eyebrows:

"Sea of ​​the Abyss?"

"Exactly."

Talia's voice suddenly became heavy: "To be more precise, it is the Old God World in the New World. They are full of hostility and rejection towards us 'outsiders', and are not willing to accept a force from the old world. A firm foothold on their land."

"I tried to reach a compromise with them, and even lowered my stance to ask them for cooperation and help, but they were all rejected; they were not even willing to negotiate in any form, and their attitude was extremely tough."

"So that's it..." An Sen sighed softly, but he was quite disapproving of it in his heart.

Of course they are tough!

Anson didn't know much about the relationship between the worlds of the old gods, but he also knew exactly what an "apostle" meant - it was an existence that stood at the pinnacle of the entire caster system, except for the fallen three old gods. The "true God" that exists outside the world.

Of course, according to the evaluation criteria of the Ring of Order, he...they are actually more like a group of evil gods...

what does that mean? It means that once the Rune family has gained a firm foothold in the new world, the first thing the two sides will start is not a **** unity, the "blood is thicker than water and intimacy" between the old gods, but a death battle to divide interests!

The reason is also very simple - no matter how "just" is advertised, the old gods are a group of groups with blood as their core; this means that except for family members who share a common blood, the rest are either enemies or even "people". no.

For example, Anson, he himself is barely considered a "tool man" between "human" and "not human", and his status is slightly equal to that of Mace Hornard who died at the hands of Talia before.

For the Rune family, lowering their profile seems to be a compromise; but for the old gods of the new world, as long as the blood magic family with apostles sets foot on their own land, it is a complete aggression.

If you think about it this way, Anson can probably understand why nearly two hundred years have passed, and the Church of Order is still unable to build a real cathedral in the New World.

For the Church of Order, they are probably facing a similar dilemma-either continue to maintain the church's sense of presence in the old world, or launch a "holy war" in the true sense, calling on the entire world of order to march into the new world and destroy it. These blatant old gods.

Now it seems that the Church of Order has chosen the former; as expected, compared to the outside world, the enemy in the "home" is more hateful.

Thinking of this, An Sen suddenly found another question: "So this time, our enemies are not only the empire, but also the... old gods of the new world?"

"Very sorry, yes." Talia turned her head and sighed softly:

"It's ironic. The original purpose of our trip was to find allies, but as a result, we have more enemies, and we are mortal enemies that never die."

"The Land of Rest... that is, the old gods of the new world. They seem to have given up on the idea of ​​fighting against the false gods, or they don't think that the ring of order will really extend its tentacles to their desolate land."

"The Land of Rest?"

Anson met the girl's gaze, and suddenly became interested in this topic: "Why is it called such a name, is there any special meaning, or is it just a random name?"

Hearing Anson's question, Talia suddenly shuddered, she closed her eyes gently, sat down tremblingly against the edge of the table, and hid her head on her chest in silence.

An Sen was a little flustered by her actions, and said cautiously, "What's wrong?"

"nothing!"

The girl raised her head sharply: "Dear Anson, to tell you the answer, Talia must first explain another question to you - why do you think the Ring of Order is a 'false god'?"

Why is the Ring of Order a false god... An Sen frowned slightly, thinking hard:

"Because he stole the original ring?"

"No." A smile appeared on Talia's face:

"Because no matter how the believers of the Ring of Order advertise the justice of their beliefs, they will never be able to explain the most deadly question - how did this world come to be?"

"Where did I...we...where did we come from and where are we going?"

"They can't explain it all, but the Three Old Gods can."

"Only darkness can reveal light, only blood can lead to eternal life, and only destruction can lead to greatness."

"The three eulogies are compared to the three true gods, which corresponds to the 'primordial ring' that symbolizes the beginning of everything; the blasphemers can't understand the meaning at all, and they openly take the runes they modified as a symbol of faith. ."

"The original ring represents the origin of the belief in the true God - evolution."

"We... were born from chaos, from the initial darkness to countless colors, the first drop of rain that fell from the dome~www.wuxiamtl.com~ turned into the whole world, from ants to powerful beings, we have been evolving, Always evolving."

"That's why the true God is the true God - the world is constantly evolving, and they have found three distinct evolutionary paths for us; these paths are dangerous, cruel, and terrifying, and they require us to give up a lot A lot of stuff..."

"But the moment we give up evolution is the moment of our self-destruction." Talia sighed softly:

"And that's why the Resting Land exists."

"Even though God has revealed the truth to all living beings in the world, it does not mean that all can understand the future they are guiding; there is still a group of beings who have also embarked on this path and believe that it should be 'evolved' at the same time , keep something."

"They are destined to be extraordinary, destined to be abandoned by a changing world, but they remain unwilling to give up and stubbornly adhere to certain principles that cannot be parted."

So the world they live in is called "the land of rest" by the Old Gods, because they are destined to be destroyed... Anson couldn't help guessing.

In other words, the old gods of the new world...their powers are most likely very different from those of the old world.

"Of course, that's just one reason, and for many true Old Gods, it's not even really a reason to call it that."

Talia's tone suddenly became a little desolate, and there were some very unique emotions in her eyes: "For all of us, that land actually has some very special meanings."

"It... is still the tomb of the entire Old God world."

"Buried the remains of the three true gods."
